The Massachusetts Chapter supports people living with ALS and their loved ones through services and education. We leave no stone unturned in search for the cure of this progressive neurodegenerative disease.

Our Mission

To discover treatments and a cure for ALS, and to serve, advocate for, and empower people affected by ALS to live their lives to the fullest.

Help create a world without ALS by getting involved in the way that best suits YOU! When you fundraise with friends and family you take us closer to discovering a cure.

Ride to Defeat ALS - September 23, 2018

The Ride to Defeat ALS is a community fundraising event that creates the hope and action needed to conquer Lou Gehrig's Disease. We offer four cycling routes- 75 miles, 50 miles, 25 miles, and a 10-mile family ride- followed by a lunch and celebration at The Longfellow Health Club in Wayland, MA. It is a fantastic day to honor and remember our loved ones who have bravely battled ALS and to rally together to create a world without ALS.

Walk to Defeat ALS

More than 180 walks take place in communities across the country February through November. Walk to Defeat ALS draws people of all ages and athletic abilities coming together to honor a loved one with the disease, to remember those who’ve passed and to show their support for the cause.
